Hi everyone,

I've got an odd problem with the md - i'm using an MPC4000 as the
master clock in my studio going through a motu express xt midi
patchbay. When it is sync'd everything is fine - i hit start and the
machine drum starts at the right bpm. However, sometimes i need to
turn sync off (so someone can write on the machinedrum while i write
something else on mpc etc.) - I do this by turning all the midi
receive clock and start/stop off on the machinedrum - but when i do
this, things sometimes go crazy - tempo on the machinedrum seems to be
something random (not the internal tempo - or the internal tempo keeps
changing to some value) and position information from the MPC seems to
affect the machinedrum - i.e. if i navigate around the bars on the
MPC, the machinedrum moves around too even though the sync/start/stop
is all set to not receive on the MD - any ideas?
